As part of Vice President Biden’s initiative to raise awareness about dating violence and sexual assault among young people, the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Housing and Urban Development are planning to host 10 town hall meetings focusing on the role of men in reducing dating violence and sexual assault on their campuses and in their communities. These events will bring young men, government officials, domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions, community leaders and other public figures together to participate in a conversation about how men can become more engaged in stopping violence against women. These town halls will take place in 10 states throughout the country- California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington.
